The HDR looks very promising, can't wait to see Z's HDR picture samples and comparison.

Meh. Sony does have a very strong innovation in their HDR video feature. However, declaring it game over for 2013 at the very beginning of 2013 strikes me as a bit optimistic. I doubt Sony is going to outsell Sammy for example. Nokia may have something to show that challenges Sony's HDR video feature.

Even if Sony is the only manufacturer to feature HDR video, they have a way to go to challenge Apple, Sammy and the WP universe.

Credit where credit is due, however.

and once again where would sammy be without sonys lens on its camera?

Sammy deserves NO credit in my opinion........

Off topic: Where's your previous avatars knight...

btw, can you explain to me why Sammy deserves no credit?

Sammy has its own CMOS sensors and probably every component of a smartphone, they will gradually stop their reliance on sony for its camera sensors in coarse of time and improve their own sensors.

If you mean camera - it seems like it could be better, apart from the sensor stabilization.
If you mean the overall package - it absolutely blows the Nokia away in every respect

Blows it in every aspect? Care to go beyond the dumb better specs, more apps (pretty much a standard argument against anything non-Android these days) and the fact that the phone is lighter/thinner?. BTW, waterproofing is one area where I'll give it to the Xperia.

..and you've just answered it for me thank you.
You missed only the expandable storage.
Since discussion about the OS is a matter of taste, if you wish

Better material? More features? Speaking of a higher res display, what's the use if there's hardly any content that can make full use of the 1080p display? Source: ARSTechnica's Droid DNA review.

Do you know there are 1080p videos? And pictures with high def too.

And when there are many such screens, apps and content will be created for it. Have you ever heard of chicken-egg story ? :)

Do you know there are 1080p videos? Thanks for telling me sir, I never knew of it. There's some blind fanboyism on this site. Apps and content WILL BE CREATED, so wouldn't a normal guy be better of with a phone that has all content on his platform right away rather than waiting for content to arrive?

lol u r welcome.

It's not you, not me. The normal users always want the best, the latest and the greatest. Try to explain to them they don't need such things... Well MS has tried repeatedly with Win mobile. WP7 and now WP8.

you have exactly the same logic as MS: MS always wants it safe, so MS is never the first to push the envelop.

The result is despite being the earleast player in mobile, MS is soundly beaten by both Apple and Google despite spending tonnes of money on ads.

If anyone is being blind here, it's you.
Would you watch 1080p YouTube videos on your phone?
Play some heavy games on it?
You think your L920 is as fast as a phone can be?
Well you're sorely deluded then.
It's not faster than S3 even on the SAME PROCESSOR.

It would be significantly faster with S4 pro I assure you.

Anyway to rephrase my initial statement.. Xperia Z blows the L920 away in every measurable aspect.

except for lumia 920's video camera. i dont know if you have ever played with it, but it is pretty awesome. have you seen this video shot with the lumia 920 camera only?

here a video comparison real world test engadget did for the lumia 920 vs. iphone 5.

i'm not saying the rest of the xperia Z isnt better, because it is. but the video camera will not "blow the L920 away". daytime pics prolly will be better, but not low-light pics.
